The wide-open space inside the former Mitre 10 building in Karepiro Drive, Whangaparāoa was an ideal place to display 61 cars owned by members of Hibiscus Rodders.
The display, open to the public on August 13 and 14, was to mark the club’s 40th anniversary (HM August 8).
Getting that many cars lined up inside the building was a mammoth team effort, which took a whole day to achieve. No doubt the sound of all those engines was impressive.
The cars had been polished to perfection and could be viewed close up – the hours of work and considerable money lavished upon them by proud owners could be clearly seen.
It was the first time so many of the members’ cars had been displayed at one time, and club president Grant McKechnie says the Rodders were rapt with how it went.
He says as well as a lot of interest in the cars, the show created interest in the club itself.
“It was also great as well to see a steady stream of past members taking the time to catch up and renew old friendships.”
He says the club will make a donation to the Prostrate Cancer Foundation of NZ from the proceeds of the event.
